Name: Carex pansa - Carex praegracilis Wet Meadow Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance is a wet meadow of tidally flooded sand dune swales, where the vegetation forms a patchy to dense herbaceous layer (cover ranges from 40-90%). Woody cover and nonvascular plants are typically absent. Dominant herbs include <i>Carex pansa</i> and/or <i>Carex praegracilis</i> and with associate herbs such as <i>Bromus diandrus, Distichlis spicata, Juncus breweri</i>, and/or <i>Juncus textilis</i>. This alliance occurs in coastal interdune swales that are seasonally and tidally flooded in drifting sands and on the borders of estuaries on the Channel Islands and mainland coastal estuarine areas of California, Oregon and Washington and may occur as far north as British Columbia.
